1200 sq. feet, that's living room, kitchen, three bedrooms, two baths, not counting unfinished basement (which I avoid like the plague). We worked and waited until we had been married 12 years and had two kids before we had this house built. I worked for the Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census, for 8 years, off and on. DH works in pollution control.
Problems before the house:
picking a piece of land. It's harder than you think.
picking a style of house. Gak.
Agreeing on said style. Cleaning up the blood, and then agreeing on the style.
During construction:
finding stuff the builder did that doesn't match the plan.
finding a pile of s*** in the backyard, indicating the opinion of someone, unknown.
cleaning up after the sheetrock, but before the flooring. They don't tell you up front that you need to do that, but they don't and if the dust and debris are left on the floor your flooring will never look right.
After the house is built:
realizing that maybe it's not big enough.
finding small things that are not right, not bad enough to do over, just off enough to drive you slightly nuts, like the window ledge in the bathroom(right in front of the toilet, where you can't help but see it) being unlevel.

Currently our house is 1020 sq. ft., but it will be up for sale very soon. It's in a quiet neighborhood (a lot of seniors live on our block).
We worked very hard to get this house, and are working even harder for our new house.
Thankfully, we have not encountered any problems.

Big, in the country, very hard, run a chicken ranch and lastly the biggest problem I have encountered is trying to keep the chickens from swinging from the ceiling fans, while entertaining the roosters!

We live in a 3,600 sf home in a master-planned community outside Dallas.
I've worked very hard for it. I'm an Architect. I'm a partner in the firm.
Problems? I've had to work my way into this position. It took about 15 years.....
